The Good Book: The True Story of Y'All

8 reviews
James Dean Jay Byrd, Steven Cheslik-Demeyer

Lucky Green Dress Co, 2000

One of the greatest duo's to grace a stage
I love this band. I love their story. Their CD's are on my desert island list. Acquaint yourself and set a spell. You won't be sorry. Then get their music. Love it and laugh, and cry. And, Steven, if you are out there, "the ballad of 4 happy cats" is my favorite song ever. EVER!

Saving Private Ryan

22 reviews
Steven Speilberg

Newmarket Press, 1998

Very interesting
Saving Private Ryan and The Triumph and the Glory have sparked an interest in me about WWII. The novel isn't quite as good as the movie but anyway this book is a great behind the scenes look at the making of a terrific movie.

Godiva and the Golden Dragon

Steven James

Writer's Showcase Press, 2001

Highly recommended for historical fiction enthusiasts
Steven James' Godiva And The Golden Dragon is a superbly written historical and romantic novel set in the last years of Anglo-Saxon rule in England. Starting with the famous ride of Lady Godiva. Spanning A.D. 1057 to A.D. 1066, Godiva And The Golden Dragon wonderfully mixes history with unforgettable characterization, seizing the reader's consciousness and refusing to let go until the very end.

Rabbit Production: 8th Edition
If you can only get one book on rabbits, this is the book to get! Considered by many rabbit breeders, exhibitors, owners to be 'THE' book on rabbits. The authors are rabbit owners/breeders themselves and they know whereof they speak. Easy to read and understand, it includes a history of rabbits, genetics, feeding, housing, breeding, medical care, the merits of rabbits as pets, rabbits in ...

The Rook (The Patrick Bowers Files, Book 2)

Revell, 2008

Leave the Lights on
I'm a wimp, so I usually steer clear of thriller books. However I definitely loved this one, even though I may not sleep so well tonight. There are no graphic sex scenes. There is no profanity. There's just a beautifully written, edgy, scary thriller. How refreshing! The characters are believable. They're not perfect; rather, they're flawed, just like you and me. Since the loss of his wife, ...

Soulsaver

17 reviews
James Stevens-Arce

Harcourt, 2000

For Readers Interested in Writing
A novel that uses first person, present tense is not easy to find, probably because there are not many convincing reasons to use it. In Soulsaver, James Stevens-Arce does it well. This book is an interesting and fast-paced satire. The protagonist, Juan Bautista Lorca, is a callow youth blinded by the society in which he lives. That Stevens-Arce chooses to tell his story from ...

Closing the Chart: A Dying Physician Examines Family, Faith, and Medicine

6 reviews
Steven,M.D. Hsi

University of New Mexico Press, 2004

Wonderful !
I am a nursing student. I happened to notice this title on amazon. I have to tell you, that I know that I will be a better nurse because I read this book. I think that it should be a mandatory part of the curriculum in the every program for all of the health care professions. It is very difficult sometimes, to know what it is like for the patient. This book made that realization abunduntly ...

Teutonic Mythology Vol. 1 (Phoenix Edition)

8 reviews
Jacob Grimm

Dover Publications, 2004

Ian Myles Slater on: Invaluable, but Handle with Care!
So Dover Publications has now (2004) reprinted "Teutonic Mythology" under the "Phoenix" imprint, apparently in two formats (bindings). I look at my copies of the previous (1966) Dover paperback edition of James Stallybrass's 1883-1888 translation of Jakob Grimm's "Deutsche Mythologie," with the four volumes bound in different colors, and I feel terribly old. They were purchased at less than a ...

Remembering Slavery: African Americans Talk About Their Personal Experiences of Slavery and Emancipation

12 reviews
James H. Billington, Robin D.G. Kelley

New Press, 2000

Powerful and Enlightening
I am currently a high school student that read part of this for a Civil War class and let me say this is one powerful book. With people who were the slaves themselves tell you their stories, you learn alot about the antebellum period. I would recommend this book for any mature person due to the fact that some of these stories show the true horror of slavery.

Teachers' Night Before Christmas (Night Before Christmas Series)

6 reviews
Steven Layne

Pelican Publishing, 2001

Great Twist on a Christmas Classic
I am a third-grade teacher, and I loved this story. The chaos that is portrayed on the pages of this delightful picture book is so true regarding what it is like the last few days before Christmas vacation. I especially loved reading about the room mom commandos and the yearly Christmas pageant. I have bought this book as a gift for several of my colleagues who have also thoroughly enjoyed it.

How to Become a Dangerous Expert Witness: Advanced Techniques and Strategies

4 reviews
Steven Babitsky Esq; and James J. Mangraviti Jr.; Esq.

SEAK, Inc., 2005

Examples make the case
For anyone preparing to testify, or for those who testify on a regular basis, this book will be of great help. The text deals with basic philosophy as well as reasoning behind the typical attorney thinking. But, the strongest aspect of the cook involves the many examples used to illustrate concepts and techniques.

Sailing Between the Stars: Musings on the Mysteries of Faith

3 reviews
Steven, James

Revell, 2006

A gift to the soul
"Sailing Between the Stars" has been a gift to my soul... and to my faith. Most of my Christian years have been spent trying to decipher the undecipherable, reason out the unreasonable and comprehend the incomprehensible. And I've found that it's in those times of perplexity that I draw closer to my Creator as I seek not just to know ABOUT him, but to truly KNOW him. This book by Steven ...

Essential Moon Knight, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

4 reviews
Doug Moench, Jack S. Harris, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Moon Knight is the Best
Its been a little more than a year since volume 1 came out, and I've found that volume 2 is as good or even better than the first one. The art continues to improve, and being in black and white just adds to the mysterious feel of Moon Knight. This volume contains issues 11-30 of the first run of Moon Knight comics, first published in the 1980's. It continues Moon Knights battles with the ...

Quest for Celestia: A Reimagining of The Pilgrim's Progress

4 reviews
Steven James

Tyndale House Publishers, 2006

Let THE Story Touch Your Heart Again...
There is only one story that really matters: THE story of God reaching down into history to redeem a people for Himself. We live in that story, as we journey as vagabonds toward heaven. Four hundred years ago, a prisoner in an English jail retold THE story in such a fresh and masterful way that his words have been a bestseller ever since. That prisoner, of course, was John Bunyan, and his ...

The Rare Coin Estate Handbook

R. Steven Ivy, Gregory J. Rohan, ...

Ivy Press, 2000

Numismatic Book of the Year
My name is Lee Martin and I am the founder of the Numismatic Literary Guild. I have been privileged to review many books and usually they are most satisfactory, however few are regarded by me as N.L.G. Book of the Year material. This book, in my view, merits that thought. It is for everyone in numismatics and is even a "must have" for those who may become heirs, but lack the know-how of what ...

Imagist Poetry: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions)

4 reviews
Ezra Pound, D. H. Lawrence, ...

Dover Publications, 1999

An unforgettable collection of masterpieces.
Of all the movements in 20th century literature, Imagism is my favorite. If you're as sick as I am of angry, modern, "confessional" poets (yes, I'm sure your childhood was awful, now see a therapist and get on Prozac), then take a look at this collection. While some of the poems here are widely anthologized (including Wallace Steven's, "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" and William ...

Clever and informative.
We have started using this in our Children's Church (K-6), and the kids love it. It is well-written, witty, and does a great job telling God's truths. I would definitely recommend this book.

Steven James

Standard Publishing Company, 2005

Excellent resource
If you're looking for solid, Bible-based, yet FUN Children's messages this is the book. As Pastor of a mutigenerational church I love its adaptability for so many ages, and I hope there's a "Volume II" in the works!

James Thurber

Harcourt Children's Books, 1994

Wonderful story for ALL ages.
Marvelous illustrations. Great story about how brains can win out over braun. The Great Quillow is a character to be admired. Told with humor and feeling. I purchased my own copy to keep. One of the best.
